Our Services Include

Antique Auctions

Antique auctions are a proven method to get the most for your valuables. We regularly run antique auctions full of estate fresh antiques and collectibles. Strong buyers from Boston, Providence and New York attend our Worcester, MA location. We also run on-site auctions throughout Massachusetts and New England.

Estate Sales

An estate sale sometimes is a better way to sell items than auctioning them. We have realized stronger prices for contemporary items, fine furnishings and even some antiques and collectibles at an estate sale. We have conducted estate sales throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Tag sales aren't limited to selling estate contents. Clients who are downsizing, moving or making other life transitions may find an estate sale best serves their needs.

Online Estate Auctions

An online estate auction is often a great method to sell the contents of an estate or when downsizing or moving. It offers many of the benefits of an estate sale along with the benefits of an auction.
This is a great option for sales in remote locations, when items that are too large to move to an auction hall and for other special circumstances.
